Fall into Fitness Community Event

What if one of the best things you could do for your health this fall was also one of the simplest?

Move your body. Get outside. Connect with other people. Have a little fun.

We’d love for you to join the Caring for the Body team for our first Fall Into Fitness gathering at Fletcher Community Park!

Fall Into Fitness
📍 Fletcher Community Park (Bill Moore Community Park)
📅 Friday, October 16, 2026
🕛 11:30 AM EST
🚶 Warm-up + conversational 5K walk
💛 Free and open to the community

We’ll begin with about 10 minutes of gentle warming up, stretching, and body-weight exercises led by our fitness professional, James Goodlatte, CPT.

Then we’ll head out together for a 3.1-mile loop around Fletcher Park — a full 5K!

But don’t let the “5K” part scare you. 😊

This is not a race.

We’ll walk at a comfortable, conversational pace of approximately 2.5 miles per hour. The goal is simply to move, enjoy the beautiful fall weather, meet some new people, and spend time together.

And please bring a friend!

You do not need to be a Caring for the Body patient to participate. This is open to our friends, families, and community.

We’ll also have a copy of our 100 Benefits of Exercise for you to take home, just in case you need a few more reasons to keep moving after our walk. 😉

📍 Where to Meet

Bill Moore Community Park (Fletcher Community Park)
85 Howard Gap Road, Fletcher, NC 28732
Park information & directions

When you enter the park, pull into the first parking lot on your left. We’ll meet outside the restroom building.

👀 Look for the mural! Here’s a photo of the mural on the outside of the restroom building so you can easily identify our meeting spot.

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to park, check in, and sign the participation waiver before James gets us moving.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water. Then come ready to move, connect, and enjoy a beautiful fall day together! 🍂👟💪

We would love to walk with you.

Here’s to stronger bodies, healthier brains, meaningful connection, and a lifetime of moving well.
